Well I am suprised you have such bad throughput, I am using an Adaptec 2322
on an Everex STEP 386/20 machine under Microport V/386 and am getting about
900Kb throughput with my 338 Meg PRIAM drive. Now if I could just get V/386
to recognize all 1224 cylinders (V/386 tops out at 1024) I would be very happy,
as I hate leaving 65meg just floating in the Ozone. This is not a flame at
Microport, as the new 3.0e release is nothing less than GREAT, and I would
recomend that all V/386 users upgrade to the new release (The HD driver
cleans house on Bell Tech and Interactive for once!!)...
